49 hudson found on sat lost on wed

I posted about a 49 Hudson that I found for sale,for $3200.I asked if the car was worth it as I had know ideal of its value.Everyone said buy it.So Monday the guy that took me to see it tried to find the owner.He stopped 4 times and called with no luck,I went to the house on Tuesday and Wednesday.When I got there Wednesday the car was gone,My buddy finally got in touch with the owners niece and she said the car was sold for $2000.Now I am sick! Someone got a hell of a deal.The car was just outside Taccoa Ga.Did one of you get it?

 

Thats what you get for waiting on our opinions.

 

Lesson learned the hard way.

 

Pull the trigger if it is something You want, and buy it. If not p*** it on to someone else. But dont post the location and info ,on a hot rod board thats read by thousands of car nuts. I think someone won't snach it up.

 

Yeah, that's happend to me before. I post a pic of a car I found because I'm excited about finding it but not sure what it's worth, and someone who has been keeping an eye on the car sees the post and runs over and ******es it up before you get back there. Now I don't do that too much.

 

Your first thread should have been, look at the car I picked up two hours ago.

 

He who hesitates looses as you just discovered

Don't ask others if it's a good deal. Ask yourself is this a good deal for me.

 

yea i got it. thanks for showing off like an idiot before you bought it , what a good deal it was too i tolf the lady i only had 2k because times are hard and she took it, LOL HAHA im cutting it up for parts as we speak and then s****ping it.

p.s. just kidding

 

So.......I just got back from GA. Man what a long trip......but you should see what I bought..........



In my opinion, most of these "Lookie what I found.....is it worth it?" threads are just bragging for the most part, and I think it's funny as hell when these things that are so obviously bargains end up being sold out from under the original poster.

 

my thoughts exactly.

 

Yeah...

Or "Barnfind" when its obviously a car lots of people have known about, for a long time...

 

Holy Christ. That's a 48 or 49 Super Six Brougham. (long roof 2 door) Pretty are and worth a ton more than 2k......Lesson learned I suppose

 

priceless...

 

Thats the ****s man, ****s an ***hole stole it out from under you, no honor a****
car guys anymore, can't trust anyone.

Id find the ****er that did it and clock him just once for being an ***hole, and yea, id try to break his jaw with that one hit to, why? cause it would feel so damn good.

 

i bet your keyboard has a six pack ,smokes marlboro reds, can bench press 350 pounds, and started fight club cus its tuff.

hes the dumb*** that had to ask permission/ brag to buy something he knew was a good deal to a bunch of strangers on the internet, the other buyer was just... umm how do you say it... smarter

 

Judging from your profile, and most of your recent posts, you are mostly here to act like a tuff guy and stir up **** aren't you......

 

popcorn anyone .. this could get either good or closed
Dave

 

If I see something I want, like **** am I waiting for someone elses opinion.....

 

i state my opinion and i do what i say, what? you got a problem with honesty?

and it seems your the one stirin up **** and you know what?, im not going to bite,
you go look for a fight elsewhere bud.

 

HA, lesson learned I suppose, I'd never post on here before buying it.

 

****s for you but when you get down to it, think about this...

You posted up a deal on the Hudson and asked for opinions. You got a overwhelming response to go for it OR p*** it to another HAMBER. Then you dipped out. Bottom line? Lose/lose for everyone. My worthless .02

 

Yeah........p*** me a bag...

 

OK I learned a lesson.Don'T tell anyone until its in your yard.But if your not into that type of car where do you go to get information on value and desirability?My back round has been into old trucks.So I have a good ideal on what a 49 ford would be worth,But This was the first 49 Hudson I came across and sure it looked like a neat old taildragger,But that doesn't mean its a worthwhile project,Heck I did a 63 Ranchero 260 v8 4speed car that I thought would make a great driver and when I went to sell I could only get $6000 for it and that was for a ground up rebuilt.And yes it was not a Barrett Jackson car but it was a great driver that was cheap to drive.So my intention on posting it here was to get opinions from guys that where into this type of car.Now if I had a 57 Anglia 2 door had top with a rust free body,How would I know its worth?

 

Hopefully you learned an even better lesson....asking price don't mean ****.

there is NO SHORTAGE of vehicles out there. another good deal will come along.
everyone has missed a deal & it will happen again.

 

don't feel bad dude their could have been a deal for the car in the works that nobody knew about. people are liquidating at alarming rates.
